90 degree upward bounce has it's limits. Like Kent3888 mentioned, if the ceiling is 5 floors high, you won't get any bounce effect. You'll only get direct light from the side of the flash.

I am not saying about bounce flash. I am saying about fill flash. tongue.gif
90 degree you will have a nice shadow worr for me only maybe. blush.gif

Sigma 50 f/1.4, the price is very expensive; Do you really need the 1.4? If not, you can get the new Nikon 50mm f/1.8G at less than half the price, and it sharp wide open; For the price and performance, it's easily better than the 1.4, unless you really need the 1.4 or you have the $$$ or you're earning from photography.

you sounds but hurt man. tongue.gif
a lot of ppl who didn't earn moneh from photography own 200mm f2 lor, hahaha.. Joking...

Hye everyone, just wanna ask a question.
What does spot metering do actually? And how can I use it? I'm using D90 btw. Thanks.
*
Spot metering does work like old film camera, instead of meter for the whole frame (matrix) or partial of the frame which mostly center (centered metering), this spot metering only meter a dot (the are of your active focus dot) this is useful to tell your camera not to calculate the unwanted light source which coming an hits your camera sensor. e.g backlit

Anyway, why it's named as DX King? Due to its weight and size?

You will be shocked if I said that is the most expensive pieces of glass for DX. would ya?

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jun 28 2011, 01:47 AM)
It's just like cars. If your car is capable of hitting 200km/hr, your can always drive slower to 110km/hr. If your car is only capable of hitting 110km/hr, you can never expect to accelerate to 200km/hr.
The other thing I treasure more besides quality is speed of focusing. Very important. No use of having a good quality lens but gets focus wrong half the time.
*
Focusing accuracy is another thing to concern. tongue.gif
50 1.8D speed of focusing is damn cun!
but accuracy wise. sweat.gif it seems like struggling with itself.

QUOTE(Calvin Pixels @ Jun 28 2011, 02:19 AM)
Here the raw picture i edited for noise reduction (jpeg is brighter than this) taking out the rm60 UV filter seem better, this time i never put full 100% NR only 40-ish
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


can this noise level be accepted? i planning to get things step by step now, once im done with my NR problem ill move on to other settings
thnks to all who have gave me tips to improve on earlier

Let me tell you something. if you are new in photography.
care no about noise, sharpness, etc etc etc..
what you should focus on is Composition, Exposure, and Focusing (whether it is nailed or not) but I heard there is a new technology that could save you from focusing problem.
For me. I always put composition as my main concern.
because I know even the pictar is razor sharp it would be useless if it composed badly.
Bad composed pictar will always bad, regardless your sharpness, bokeh, color, and subject.

same thing goes to focusing, no matter how good the picture is. it will be pointless if the pictar is OOF.

for exposure, you can be saved by nowadays technology. but straight correct exposure is always better. save you from time consuming PP.

QUOTE(Isepunye @ Jun 28 2011, 02:47 AM)
got one client force me to use canon as she said nikon too sharp. im on kit lens that time : sweat.gif
*
for me. Nikon is not sharper than canon.
but I wouldn't deny that Nikon has better contrast and more saturated color.
Sharpness I think it is depends on the lens. tongue.gif
